I got about half way through the aerocharger turbo install last night.
So far so good, hope to spool it up tonight :2thumbs:

Don't you have some pictures or something to share with us? Just saying you are half done is not really fair.

This was mine "half done":

Houston we have boost

:2thumbs: everything went well and I have 6 psi hyea:

The data logger is missing a piece so until that ships and I get the shim kit from aerocharger which they forgot to ship I'm leaving it at 6 psi

I took a quick spin but the roads where wet

But wow instant power anywhere in the band you want it

This is gonna be a fun ride

After I get some sleep I'll take pictures and give more details how the install went

Okay... So turbos are cool; Who's gonna stick a supercharger on one for a test? :shocked: :spyder2:

Turbos work on small displacement engine's. Superchargers work on large engines.

Turbos work on small displacement engine's. Superchargers work on large engines.

Actually, I've seen several small engines with superchargers, including a Honda 50 and a 650 Triumph, among others. The biggest drawbacks are the horsepower requirements to drive the supercharger, and the heated intake charge without an intercooler. As to turbos, I wouldn't characterize an Allison or Merlin aircraft engine as small.

Turbos

I've opted to seek a solution from military surplus for my RT, which entails removing my rear hard case covers and installing clusters of JATO (Jet-Assisted-Take-Off) bottles, similar to that seen on legacy bomber and transport aircraft for short-runway lift-off. There's a blank on my console switch panel, where I can put the ignition switch. Here's a larger-scale demonstration.
